Key Takeaway
- CLO-SET connects design, product-development, and manufacturing teams on a shared B2B platform that operates alongside your existing PLM and ERP systems.
- Reviewers can display feedback across all garment versions by default or filter comments to the current version on the Content Page.
- External users with Viewer access can review through Comments and Annotations.
Chasing sample comments across emailed spreadsheets and static screenshots can slow seasonal approvals when teams work from different file iterations. CLO-SET centralizes visual review, feedback, and status communication so teams can evaluate digital samples together while continuing to use their existing PLM and ERP systems. Its Company Library stores reusable assets, and viewpoint-based Annotations identify details in 2D or 3D. On the Content Page, reviewers can see Comments across Content Versions by default or filter them to the current Version.
Shared 3D Asset Libraries and Workrooms
Finding the right base block or approved trim can stall early sample development when files are scattered across local folders. CLO-SET’s Company Library provides a shared cloud space for commonly used assets, including block patterns, fabrics, trims, avatars, and brand logos. Teams can organize these resources into Workrooms and child Workrooms by component type. Design and product-development teams can upload style files as Contents in Workrooms, manage file versions, and review them in browser-based 2D and 3D Viewers. CLO-SET can work alongside existing PLM and ERP systems, giving teams a shared place to review these assets without replacing their broader systems.
Version-Aware Sample Comments and Markups
A collar adjustment requested on an early proto can easily confuse a pattern maker if that note disappears—or lingers without context—when the next garment iteration goes up. On the platform's review surfaces, visual review, feedback, and status communication are centralized across teams. Reviewers use viewpoint-based Annotations to highlight exact locations or details inside the 2D or 3D Viewer. While Annotations function as visual markups, Comments handle discussion, and both remain separate from Workflow and Status tracking fields.
On the current Content Page, Comments are centralized at the Content level across its tabs. Comments are also available in Workrooms and Assortments. On the Content Page, users see Comments across all Content Versions by default or can turn off View All Versions to see only those tied to the current Version. Content Versions track successive uploads to a Content; Linked Contents instead establish parent-child relationships between separate Contents. They are distinct features, and Linked Contents cannot be created when uploading a new Version.
Remove this paragraph. The opening paragraph of the same section already explains these distinctions.External Partner Access and Permissions
Bringing factories and external vendors into a sample review requires giving them enough access to check measurements and materials without exposing your entire seasonal line. Through the Share with Email feature, you can grant specific individuals either Editor or Viewer access. External stakeholders who receive Viewer access can review through Comments and Annotations. Once you share designs and product information, manufacturing partners can use those records for quotation-related activities and sampling, as well as conducting material reviews and measurement checks.
Access rights are assigned at different levels of the workspace. Admin and Collaborator access is managed at the Company and Brand levels, while Editors and Viewers can be shared into Workrooms, Assortments, and Contents. Line and Season spaces do not have separate permission grants, so assign Editor or Viewer access at the Workroom, Assortment, or individual Content level. Viewer upload and download options depend on the shared space and the permissions granted.
3D Sample Review Platforms Compared
When comparing platforms for shared 3D libraries, version tracking, and external partner reviews, looking at how CLO-SET, Browzwear Stylezone, and Style3D Cloud handle asset organization and feedback clarifies how each tool fits into a production pipeline.
| Feature Dimension | CLO-SET | Browzwear Stylezone | Style3D Cloud |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shared Asset Library | Stores reusable assets like block patterns, fabrics, trims, avatars, and brand logos in a Company Library arranged across Workrooms and child Workrooms by component type. | Provides a virtual design library for storing, organizing, and reusing garment assets. | Supports managing and sharing 3D fashion assets, including garments, fabrics, patterns, and digital samples. |
| Sample Comments & Annotations | Offers viewpoint-based 2D and 3D annotations, comments with AI Translation, and separate Workflow & Status fields across specialized review surfaces. | Manages comments and updates to keep teams aligned on feedback and changes. | Lets users annotate 3D models, leave comments, or request changes. |
| Version Context | Shows Comments across Content Versions by default on the Content Page, with an option to view only the current Version. Linked Contents separately connect parent-child Contents. | Tracks design changes through version history. Users can view and comment on previous versions, and restore a previous version as the current version before editing it. | Allows authorized users to access the latest 3D version. |
| External Partner Access | Shares Workrooms, Assortments, or Contents with Editors or Viewers; Viewer upload and download options depend on the shared space and granted permissions. | Shares 3D prototypes with external partners, distributors, and customers before physical samples are ready. | Makes 3D assets available internally and grants selected people access to review styles internally and externally. |
FAQ
What platform helps brands connect 3D asset libraries with sample approvals?
CLO-SET stores reusable assets in a Company Library while organizing uploaded files as Contents inside Workrooms to manage versions and review files in browser-based 2D and 3D Viewers.
What software helps brand teams centralize 3D sample comments before approvals with shared access for partners?
CLO-SET centralizes visual review, feedback, and status communication in one workspace while letting you invite external users via Share with Email. Shared designs and product information can also be utilized by manufacturing partners for sampling, material review, measurement checks, and quotation-related activities.
Can external Viewers download 3D sample files during a review?
Whether a Viewer can download or upload files depends on the permissions granted for the shared space; Viewers do not all have the same rights in CLO-SET.
